I'm very afraid of the GOP's big government policies and agenda.

Me too... Plus the vulnerability of people in protected classes like the elderly, disabled and the socioeconomic disadvantaged are greater now than than they were 40 years ago. It scares me to think how far back the GOP wants to take this country. It's unsettling to think that we actually may find ourselves as a nation revisiting the pre-industrial revolution conditions. The human divide in America is the most frightening thing of all.

Winter? what is the difference between a Democrat and a Republican when it comes to Government?

A Republican says we will tax and borrow.

A Democrat says we will tax and spend.

I will take a Dem because at least they tell you they are going to spend your money!

Big government thinks it gives, but it doesn't. It takes away.

You have to only wonder how much longer we get to enjoy the freedoms we still have. How much longer? How much longer before the tax-and-spend left takes everything from us to the point where it's just two groups of people: the government fat cats and everybody else? And until we do something about it this next year, that is precisely where we are headed. And it will be a scary time!

What Kool-Aid are you drinking?? The GOP's mission is to reduce government, not add to it. It's about less government, capitalism, and a free market.

LOL. That's what they say, but once you elect them in, they give you the opposite.

Obama wants to own us... he wants to own our body and that is why there is Obamacare.. Government will own us and he also will own the students when Obama took over school loans. Obama and his big government will rule every facet of our lives. Our wallets, our body and our education. Now Obama is after the food we eat.

Republicans want the power to go to the individual states.. it is healthier and people have more say.

Is that why they expanded medicare by half a trillion in 2003? Nah, I have seen enough of their empty promises.
